How this will help

Wicca is a beloved 5 yr old American Staffordshire Bull Terrier who has been deemed a dangerous dog by the city of Montreal despite the fact that she only grazed a woman on the abdomen when she spooked her lying next to her owner, on leash on a terrasse. We the people had requested that Wicca's execution be overturned. Normally, an incident as mild as this warrants a 90 day muzzle order, a fine and an evaluation by a canine professional. Wicca was never given that opportunity by the city of Montreal . Her case was denied by the court of appeals and an injunction was also denied. The city refused to back down. They even refused to allow Wicca to be sent to the Smiling Dogs Sanctuary in Texas. World famous dog expert Cesar Millan was also refused. Wicca was euthanized on July 26th,2012. The laws need to change. Here in Montreal, it is a simple civil servant who has the power to decide which dog lives and which dog dies. This case was pure breed discrimination.
